Accomplishments


 I finished a few things yesterday. I was in a mood to get things done and I was off. That doesn't always work out that way so I was happy to finish up a few items. I'm done with this month's Color My World BOM. I had to make more houses so now I have a total of 32. I also had to sew them into pairs once I settled on a my setup. 

This picture is before I sewed the pairs of houses together. I left them alone for awhile to see if I had too many of the same color grouped together. I moved a few around but I think I always came back to the same arrangement. I'm all done with this BOM until April. This month seemed to take me awhile.

I also finished machine quilting the baby quilt for my neighbor. I have the binding fabric ready to cut. This was a fun and quick project to work on. I hope she likes it! I'm not sure when her baby is due but I'll deliver it once the birth is announced. 

I just might start a new project! I probably shouldn't since I have 4 quilts to finish on the longarm but I just can't control myself!

  2. Your houses are so cute. I know there are times that I put stuff on the design wall and just let it stew.

    1. Thank you, Colette! I think that's the great feature of the design wall. You can step back and look at it for as long as you like.

    1. Thank you, Deborah! I just finished this month's blocks yesterday. The Mariner's Compass was so quick! I felt that the March houses took me so much long than the January ones. I have no idea why. They weren't any harder.
